TEXtalks’ Post

What is regarded as an innovation today? In the past, Swiss innovations were technological ones, aiming at better, faster and more profitable production. These days, textile machinery manufacturers and service providers have some new benchmarks for innovation, in which the needs and demands of end-users define what must be offered, based on society’s comprehensive understanding of a better tomorrow. 12 Swiss Textile Machinery members talk about the challenges and the current solutions. This link https://lnkd.in/dMdaDm5K also leads to an interview with Swiss Textile Machinery Association Secretary General Cornelia Buchwalder about what sustainability means for its members.

🧵Discover the main results of the 10 innovative projects led by companies benefiting from EuroBoosTEX funding 👁🗨Focus on the project Bioprepeg led by TEXFIRE TEXTILS TECNICS, S.L - Spain 🚩 The project marked a notable advancement in sustainable composites by developing a 100% bio-based thermoplastic prepreg. This prepreg, combining natural flax fibres fabric with a Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA) film matrix, responds to the growing demand for eco-friendly materials in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and sport goods. The resultant prepreg is flexible, easily adapts to complex shapes, and is simple to handle, suiting various industrial applications. It stands out as recyclable, biodegradable, and less energy-intensive compared to traditional fibers. Its integration into Texfire's existing production line was seamless, requiring no additional machinery.
